Overview
EN 6059-301:2017 - Aerospace series - Protection sleeves - Test methods - Part 301: Sun light exposure - specifies a laboratory method for exposing protection sleeves used on electrical cables and cable bundles in aerospace applications to simulated sunlight. Published by CEN and prepared by ASD‑STAN, this standard is intended to verify the sunlight (UV/visible) resistance of sleeve materials and assemblies when used in aircraft and aerospace systems. It is to be used together with EN 6059-100 (general test requirements).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Test method for sun light exposure of protection sleeves for electrical cables and cable bundles in aerospace applications.
- Specimen preparation: Take a finished sleeve specimen with a minimum length of 600 mm.
- Apparatus: Use test apparatus in accordance with ISO 4892 (all parts) - Plastics - Methods of exposure to laboratory light sources (i.e., controlled laboratory sunlight/UV simulation).
- Exposure method: Expose the specimen to a laboratory light source as detailed in ISO 4892 for the duration specified in the applicable product standard. Ensure closures and printed faces are oriented toward the light source.
- Acceptance criteria:
- Specimens must meet the dimensions and expanding range defined in the product standard after exposure.
- No damage or broken fibres shall be evident.
- Specimens must retain the minimum tensile strength specified in the product standard.
- Closures (if present) shall remain undamaged.
- Normative references: EN 6059-100 and ISO 4892 are indispensable for applying this part.
Applications and who uses it
EN 6059-301:2017 is practically valuable for:
- Aerospace component manufacturers validating the UV/sunlight durability of cable protection sleeves.
- Test laboratories conducting conformity and qualification testing for aircraft wiring and harness protection.
- Design and materials engineers selecting sleeve materials for exterior or UV‑exposed installations on aircraft and spacecraft.
- Procurement, quality assurance and regulatory teams seeking documented compliance with aerospace material performance requirements. This standard supports lifecycle reliability by ensuring sleeves resist degradation from sunlight exposure that could compromise mechanical properties or protective function.
